There is no pic that can capture the beauty of landscapes in this tour, If you like true unspoiled nature trips, this is a must choice. Also, good service from Akanan Amazing Adventures. A bit hard moving around from each destination, but totally worth it. I also liked the small lodges in Gran Roque so you end in a place for true relax… Its like REALLY getting away for a few days!
Gabriela Di Benedictis –
